Victorian Costumes – How Girls Dresses Have Modified Through History
The short concept of Steampunk is: Victorian science fiction. A slightly longer definition is: what the world would have looked like if the technical revolution had arrived a little earlier.
If you would like to try out this subculture, you could start slow by dressing up as a Steampunk lady or gentleman this Halloween. If you value the experience, you can expand to Steampunk fairs and conventions, then start wearing Steampunk outfits at special events and weekends, and finally use them every day. It really isn’t too outlandish to wear Steampunk at work.
To produce the Victorian impression, women today can dress up far more freely than Victorian women could. Nevertheless, there is one piece of clothing that is a must for a Steampunk outfit for women, and that’s the corset. You may get away with a tight vest, but a corset makes nearly every outfit appear Steampunkish, because the main requirement is femininity, and there are few things as feminine as corsets. You can also use a wide belt or a waist cincher.
A bustle will also help create the illusion of times past. It is fine to use some men’s clothing items, like military jacket or pants, but you have to “girl it up”. Use a bustle with your trousers, or use bloomers as trousers. (For Steampunk the bloomers can be of any length.) Wear a hitched skirt over the pants. You can put on a genuine Victorian dress, or a reproduction, but these aren’t very comfortable and practical. Among the list of concepts behind Steampunk is adventure, and Victorian women used to wear a little shorter and simpler skirt for these occasions.
For Steampunk the skirt is as short as above the knee, provided it has volume as ruffles, rouches, pleats, drapes, hitches and gatherings. You can also use lace, ribbons, tassels and fringes to add to the volume in the skirt and bustle. Your blouses, vests, jackets and coats should be fitted. Women’s hats are a lot more elaborate thing than men’s hats. You may want to use a fascinator, which is something between a hair accessory and a hat.
You can include a parasol to any kind of outfit. If you utilize a handbag, choose something dainty, soft and round, like reticules and pouch bags, or something elaborately beaded or embroidered. Tapestry purses and carpetbags are the ideal choice too. As shoes most laced boots work fine, so does laced shoes and ordinary boots. Your shoes can be of any color, but be attentive with the heel. You need to have shoes with a heel, and the heel should be either tapered or Louis heel.
Women ought to be wearing dangling earrings, but not too long, nor too big. A woman can potentially wear necklaces on long chains. Lockets and medallions are a popular choice. Victorian women used rings and bracelets, sometimes excessively. Brooches are good, and medals fit women as well. Usual motives were flowers and animals, but to enhance the Steampunk impression, choose a cephalopod or arthropod – octopuses and insects always work. Also you can wear a ribbon in a buttonhole, and flowers; corsage, nosegay or posy, are very nice as accessories for women. If you need to wear a wrist watch, it should be analog and on leather strap, but a pocket watch, necklace watch or brooch watch would be better. The hairstyle is quite free for women too, but it is appreciated, that you have a long hair, either braided, in corkscrew curls or an updo.
